Today I finished up a scenario I have worked on after reading an article in a WWII History magazine about the Battle of El Guettar. I put a map of the battle on my user page. I have played this where the Germans almost won, but had problems getting the city. After reading about how the tank destroyers were half tracks with a 75mm anti-tank gun mounted on them, I changed the stats of the American TD's to two figures. The half tracks were lightly armored. In fact, according to the article, a favorite tactic of the Germans was to use the forward mounted machine gun to shoot tracers, and when the tracers hit the sides of vehicles, they bounced straight up, this gave the location away to be blasted by the Panzer IV's 75mm guns.
